Senior Airman Timothy Wright was injured Wednesday about 10:45 a.m. when he was run over by a Humvee being used as part of a training exercise. Public affairs officials said unit members who saw the accident attempted to save Wright's life until emergency personnel arrived.

Wright, who was assigned to Pope's 43rd Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron as an aeromedical evacuation technician, was taken to Womack Army Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 11 a.m. He had arrived at Pope in May.

"Team Pope and the Gryphons of the 43rd Airlift Group are united in support of Senior Airman Wright's family and friends," said Col. Daniel Tulley, 43rd Airlift Group commander. "We stand together during this time of mourning. We cherish our memories of him and will continue to honor his service to our nation and the United States Air Force."
